Embrace sleek elegance with a powerful story with our Armadillo Scute & Turquoise Linear Earrings. These fabulous earrings feature four meticulously arranged, ethically salvaged 9-banded armadillo scutes, creating a clean, linear design that’s both modern and deeply rooted in natural history.
Each earring is adorned with five captivating 6mm x 2mm real turquoise rondelle beads, adding a serene pop of color that beautifully complements the natural tones of the scutes. All metal elements, including the secure 925 sterling silver-plated fish hook findings, are 925 plated, ensuring a refined and tarnish-resistant finish. With a graceful 2-inch drop (including the finding), these earrings offer elegant movement and a striking profile.
While these pieces offer a beautiful, clean aesthetic, they carry a compelling story. The armadillo scutes are ethically salvaged from our area roads after unfortunate encounters. As much as we find them cute and fascinating – their ancient cousin, the Glyptodon, was totally awesome! – 9-banded armadillos are an invasive and destructive species in Florida. They cause significant damage to landscapes and, sadly, to vehicles when struck. By transforming these elements into art, we not only honor the animal but also raise awareness about local ecological concerns, embodying our commitment to Wearable Conservation.
